Standard Accessories; Optional Accessories; Operation - General Pipe Cleaners Kinetic Water Ram Operating Instructions Manual

FEATURES
 Built-in air compressor – The Ram pumps up very easily to
about 60 lbs. (4 bars).
 Pressure Gauge – Though the pressure gauge can show up to
160 lbs. (11 bars) of pressure, do not use more than 80 lbs. (6
bars) to clear a line.
 Schraeder Valve – For a higher charge of air, use the Schraeder
valve and an external compressor.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

 4" Tapered Rubber Cone – Fits 1-1/4' to 3" drain openings.
Used in most applications.
 Set of 5 Tapered Rubber Plugs – For use when a tighter fit is
required in the drain opening. Set includes 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 3"
and 4" plugs.
 Caulking Hose – For
use when the operator
is unable to tightly
seal the rubber plug
into the drain opening
due to the faucet
interfering with the
Ram.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

 Toilet Attachment – Enables you to position the cone in the bowl
to get a tighter seal. As a result, you can strike the blockage with
greater impact and no splash back.
 6" Tapered Rubber Cone – Fits 1-1/4" to 4" drain openings.
 Expansion Plugs – For use when a tighter seal is needed or when
high pressure is needed for clearing extreme blockages. They are
available in 1-1/2", 2", 3", and 4" sizes.
 Check Valve Assembly – For use when clearing slow draining
sinks and tubs. (Includes Water Supply Hose and Universal Fau-
cet Adapter)
Note: An Instructional Video is available. It covers opera-
tion of the Kinetic Water Ram as well as safety procedures.

ASSEMBLY
1. Thread the 4" Rubber Cone onto the spindle with the point of the
cone facing downward as shown in figure 1, not with the point
facing the cylinder as shown in figure 2.
Figure 1 – CORRECT!
Figure 2 – INCORRECT!
2. The point of the Rubber Cone should be a minimum of 1/4" be-
yond the end of the spindle.
3. Use the Lock Nut to hold the cone in place as shown in figure 1,
never as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3 – INCORRECT!

OPERATION

ANY HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN THE DRAIN WA-
TER SHOULD BE SIPHONED OUT OR OTHERWISE
REMOVED BEFORE PROCEEDING!
1. Go to the drain or clean-out closest to the stoppage.
2. The Water Ram must hit a solid column of water, not air. If a pipe
is only partly blocked and drains slowly, turn the faucet wide open
so that water is supplied faster than it can drain off. If this doesn't
provide enough water to create the required column of water, use
the Check Valve Assembly. (See "Clearing Slow Draining Sinks
and Tubs")
3. Pump the Ram up to 10 lbs. (1 bar) of pressure to start.
4. Wedge the tip of 4" Rubber Cone into the drain. If this will not pro-
vide a tight seal, use other attachments shown in Specific Applica-
tions.
